I will glance at the scoreboards on Saturdays. That's what I now do with the Atlanta Braves now days. I won't watch Tennessee play.

You and me both on the Braves! Although I love the new stadium, which is close to my house, so I will watch them live.

y'all haven't learned not to react until an actual announcement yet?

We were cool until the SchiaNO debacle. Now we pay attention when Hubbs keeps throwing a name out there.

 

[Volwark]

At least I hope we've learned our lesson here. During the next coaching search in about 3~4 years (if any of us care to come back around then), you can take all the big names off the board. If anybody gives you ish about it, point them to these last three searches.

 

[scvolfan7]

Thanks for the reply. While I understand your stance here, I disagree with all of it.

That’s fine. Again, so much of my take on this is contingent upon Tee Martin being on staff. If he isn’t then the whole thing is a complete failure.

 

[JohnD13]

Why can't we have nice things

 

[engineerVOL]

Sooooooooooooo the big Colorado "shake-up" was their OC going to Oregon State.

 

[LaagerVol]

If it’s this it’s a B+ hire. Steele is old and if we bring tee I think it’s to groom him to become HC.

F-

 

[Vols_14]

I like how media guys are saying “Pruitt and Tucker plus Tee would be great!” Then we just keep hearing “Steele being interviewed again. Steele flown to NYC by UT, interviewing. Steele Steele Steele”

 

[GoBigOrange86]

the argument isn't the tyrion of black water bay. more like the tyrion of last season, getting duped lol

I'm with you 100%. I was more mocking the notion advanced by some, including VQ mods, that Miles is past his prime and has no more drive and can't get it done but somehow Kevin Steele, who is about 4 years younger and is perhaps the worst coach Baylor has ever had (and that's saying something) is going to be just fine.

It's insanity. I want Miles, but apparently no one in a position of authority does. I simply cannot be convinced, under any circumstance, that Steele is a better bet than Miles.

 

[unioncityvol]

Tucker or Pruitt with Tee til it ain't

 

[scvolfan7]

F-

Without Tee I completely agree. Bring him in and everything is fine. JMO

 

[LaagerVol]

The search is still the search and the candidates are who they are because of our circumstance. KS in my opinion is a bad choice.

The “search” is what Fulmer is making it. Isn’t really a search at all.

 

[Aesius]

Maybe Steele is actually coming as someone's DC. Would have to imagine he'd be wary of taking a head coaching job, no matter how he'd get paid. Been there, done that, fainted multiple times. Stay in your lane, Kevin!

 

[VOLinCO]

Sorry, been at work all day and couldn’t keep up with the latest updates.

Are all candidates eliminated except Pruitt, Tucker, and Steele?

 

[TNDCVol]

Nothing to get mad or happy about yet. Keep the faith.

agreed. it's amazing to see. if you want tee Martin to get prepped to be thhe head coach why not used one who knows how to win ?

Yep, they're all lit.

I’m not gonna argue any more about it. People don’t like KS so they are taking a dump on everything.

 

[Catbone]

The only logical explanation is Phil Fulmer is friends with Steele so he is biased.

 

[MSCE09]

Hiring Steele is basically a repeat of hiring Dooley. The record doesn't justify it, we are doing it because he was an assistant on a good team, and he has the right connections.

We won the Steele lotto. We beat out everyone for him.

 

[BruinVol]

I was pretty strong that Tee wouldn't come as OC but if we hire a defensive guy he has a lot to gain by coming. Would finally be in charge.

Dooleys record was amazing compared to Steele’s
